NCR and Scopus Tecnologia sign agreement to accelerate growth in Brazil

July 26, 2011

NCR Corporation and Scopus Tecnologia Ltda, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banco Bradesco SA, announced today the formation of a strategic alliance for the manufacturing and development of ATMs in Brazil that will see Scopus acquire a 49 percent equity stake in NCR Manaus, NCR’s Brazilian manufacturing and engineering operations.

Concurrently, Banco Bradesco signed an agreement with a target for 30,000 ATMs over the next five years, making NCR its preferred ATM provider with an initial order for more than 6,000 ATMs from NCR Manaus. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, according to a press release.

NCR’s sales, services and other employees will remain in a separate company and continue to deliver sales and services support to NCR’s broader customer base in Brazil.     

“This is a bold, strategic, and transformative alliance that is perfectly aligned with our corporate strategy as it expands and strengthens our geographic presence and sales coverage,” said Bill Nuti, NCR chairman and CEO.
